What's that you say? New work?

No!
It can't be!
He's had internet service for two months and not a peep...not a monosyllabic rant...not even one word.

Well...there's a good explanation...he's been working!

Red Hobo Purse - watercolor on watercolor paper
This is actually the first piece of what I hope will be a fairly decent series.  I like candid scenes of people doing their own thing when no one is watching.  I know that sounds kinda creepy in a voyeuristic sense but it's not.  I promise.  Hopefully you'll see...as the others come along...



Untitled - watercolor on watercolor paper

This isn't a very good photo and it doesn't really do the painting a whole lot of justice.  It's relatively small (only 11 inches wide and 17 inches tall) but it's one of the only abstract pieces that I've ever created that I actually liked enough to hang on my wall.



And finally...

Lake of Fire - acrylic on canvas
This is without a doubt of my more inspired pieces.  For almost two solid days, I painted on this giant canvas.  Being that it's roughly 3 feet tall and about 10 feet wide...it's also the largest singular piece I've ever created.  I actually inherited the canvas from a very good friend of mine, Jim, who himself had inherited it from a friend of his.  It sat sitting on his dining room floor for over a year as I repeatedly told him I'd take it off his hands once I have the space to hang it and do something with it.  Well it's been hanging on my wall for over two months now and only this past weekend did I feel a stirring...a surge of creativity so strong that it was powerful enough for me to consume this large canvas with my own sense of self expression.


I told you I'd been working.
